AbbVie has substantially cut the price of its newly approved hepatitis C drug to win an exclusive deal with Express Scripts, the nation's largest manager of prescription drug benefits, the companies said Monday.

Starting Jan. 1, Express Scripts will stop offering the leading versions of the drug made by Gilead Sciences and Johnson & Johnson, which start at $84,000 for some 12-week treatments.

HOLY PEACHES AND CREAM BATMAN, do you mean the free market and competition drive down prices?? Why is this so hard for people (read: Liberals) to understand? Instead the do-gooder politicians (read: Democrats) will pass some law that only makes the situation worse (read: Obamacare).
